I think it is normal to get a stronger kind of acne on Accutane. Fortunately they are the last you will see on your face. I am happy to see things are not too bad for you. We must not give up! Happy ...

How are you doing Sarah? Im on day #11 at 60 mg and I'm in breakout #2. Pimples are hurting so much!!!! Even if they are few, they are so ugly and painful that it feels way worst! Apart from this bad...

Happy to read that some of you are getting better! In my case, it's getting very bad. Definitely IB #2. I've been on 60 mg for 10 days now and my skin is at its worst. Painful and huge zits. The ski...

I'm afraid to remove it in case it came back darker and thicker. For the moment I can still accept it, I am just worrying that it gets worse and worse... But I will consider those options if it gets v...

Oh god!!! I need to vent... I'm in a real panic... One of the worst side effect I could expect is now confirmed. My facial hair has grown much more than usual... Like on my jaw line, on my cheeks (clo...

First week on 60 mg done and not much to report. I feel good. My face is a mess but I try to focus on something else. I was expecting to feel way worst with my dosage being upped. Pimples on the chest...

It's also a bad day for me... Start of breakout #2. I have this huge one on my forehead that seems to be maybe 2 growing together. Argh... I hate those! The others are quite small and bearable... No o...

How long have you been on 60 mg? 9 days? I am on my 5th day on 60 mg and I can see breakout #2 on the way. I just hope it does not get so bad as breakout #1 and that it will not last long. Don't give...

Sarah, I know how you feel, but remember you are in the worst moment... Don't give up before you start seeing results!!

Thanks mary!! Sure u said eArlier but what moisturizer are u using? Thanks!! Clean-AC by Avene. It's a moisturizer for those on drying acne treatment.

For the moment, I'm fine using cleanser in the morning and at night... If my skin gets too irritated I might skip it in the morning tough and sitck with water only. Cetaphil works well for me!

Kim: I use very soft cotton pads to remove my make up along with my cleanser. I think it's enough. It also helps removing all the dead skin. I pass it very very gently over my face.

Mark: I've read the Accutane monography and ''The recommended dosage range for Accutane is 0.5 to 1.0 mg/kg/day given in two divided doses with food for 15 to 20 weeks. [...] The safety of once daily ...

Hi everyone! Glad to see everyone is doing quite good. There are good and bad days! Derp: when I was in my IB it was also very hard to wash my face without breaking all the pimples/crusts. The cup is ...

Melloman: we have all started the tane so I don't see your point coming here trying to change our minds. We are all aware of the side effects and we are willing to take the chance. The thing we need n...

Enigma: Just take a deep breath and let things go! At this point, there's not much you can do. Worrying won't help! Maybe you won't have a breakout! Mine was pretty bearable... It was a little more ac...

Kimber: My treatment will be 5 months total (1 month at 30 mg, 4 months at 60 mg). If everything goes well of course!

Hi! Do you know why your derm just prescribed 10 mg/day? Any health issues? 10 mg/day seems too low. Usually, you have to reach a cumulative dose between 120 mg to 150mg per kilo. So, in your case, y...

Hey, The daily intake dose I was on was 40 mg. Which was why I was suprised some of you was prescribed much more than that, considering your body weights. And, yeah, my dosage remained the throughtou...

Kim, are you sure your rose turned red because of the 40 mg? I mean, I don't think our body reacts so quickly or does it? It took me a couple days before noticing any effect when I started so I find i...

Oh! When I think that I'll be upped to 60 mg/day I'm scared !!!!

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome! Kimber: I moisturize every morning after my shower. I bought the Clean AC Avene moisturizer.. which was made to accompany drying acne treatment like Accutane...

Hi everyone! I have been reading you for the past weeks but today I've decided to share my experience so far. I am on day 22. I weigh 130 lbs and I am taking 30 mg/day until the end of the week and t...

I don't know if that's Accutane only but my menstrual cycle is fucked up. I have been on the pill for the last 3 years and I was always starting my period on the same day, as precise as a Swiss clock!...

You are far from being disgusting! I know how you feel cause I have been wanting to cancel so many dates because of my face but you are not the one who has to decide whether she will be disgusted or n...
